Redressing School Finance Equity.
Crampton, Faith E.
School Business Affairs, v63 n5 p34-38 May 1997
Outlines trends in school finance litigation. Examines definitions of fiscal equity, reviews 20 years of litigation, and analyzes recent legal activity. Recent litigation has challenged some states' school finance systems. Court decisions have split evenly regarding permissible disparities in per-pupil operating expenditures, a measure of horizontal equity. Litigation's success rate is about 50%. (30 references) (MLH)
